I have finished my studies of media design at the university of applied sciences in Mainz with an exceptional 1.0 grade. I am very relieved and happy. My graduation film is still in work but will be finished soon, hopefully. So stay tuned.

This means I’m available as a freelance artist for stereoscopy, texturing and rigging. Looking forward to new exciting jobs.

I finally found the time to upload an updated version of my old shortfilm “Augtsch” which I’ve created at university.
A monster get’s rid of his eye-aches the monster way…
The title is a german play on words: Aug = eye and autsch = ouch. So it translates to „a hurting eye“.weiter…

Based on the optimized anaglyph display mode from the stereoscopic player, I developed a Pixelbender filter that can be used inside of Photoshop, Adobe After Effects, and Flash. Using the filter is very straight forward and extremely fast. You can now create optimized anaglyph images in Photoshop, Videos in After Effects and even realtime games in Flash. weiter…

This article describes the functionality and advantages of using optimized anaglyph compared to default anaglyph, as it is presented here. The optimized anaglyph algorithm (developed by Peter Wimmer from 3dtv) displays anaglyph imagery, with only very little to no retinal rivalry. It also corrects most colors to look more like they should. Strong primary colors however, will look very different (especially red). weiter…

This is a modified version of the 3d camera rig we used to render the shortfilm Broken. It is based on the techniques discussed by Louis Marceaux and is capable of producing beautiful 3d imagery and a quick stereo preview. You can change and animate any aspect of the stereocameras like Interaxial and Zero Parallax. It also has a completely animatable floating frame to reduce eyestrain at the sides of the 3d image when objects come out of the screenspace.weiter…

Broken is an award winning stereoscopic short of two robots living behind a television screen. When the big screen accidentally gets destroyed by a loose pipe they get confronted with the world outside. This does not only bring the excitement of new freedom, but comes with unsuspected dangers as well.weiter…

“The adventures of Machinegun teddy” is a small flash (actionscript3) game i created during the last 3 months. It’s a jump’n’shoot game about a teddybear whose beloved owner Lisa has been kidnapped by evil aliens. It’s your mission to rescue her and to free humanity from the alien oppression. weiter…
